Team Falcons has officially bid farewell to competitive Dota 2, bringing an end to one of the most decorated and stable rosters in the gameโs long history.
The Saudi Arabia-based organization confirmed the move through a social media post on September 6, 2026, releasing all five players and closing out a run that began in November 2023.
Farewell, Dota 2 ๐. itโs been an incredible ride. Thanks to the players, staff, and the community for the unforgettable memories
The Team Falcons Dota 2 roster, consisting of Oliver “skiter” Lepko, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf, Andreas “Cr1t-” Nielsen, and Jingjun “Sneyking” Wu, with head coach Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling, went nearly three full years without a single roster change, certainly an extraordinary feat in a scene known for constant shuffling.
As a result, they broke the record for most games played together by a five-man squad, surpassing 790 total matches with a win rate above 65 percent.
Over the years, the Falcons Dota 2 roster has won several major trophies, including a title at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, DreamLeague and ESL One Birmingham victories, and the crowning achievement of lifting the Aegis of Champions at The International 2025 after downing Xtreme Gaming in a five-game final. Across their time in the game, the org reportedly pulled in roughly $7.3 million USD in prize winnings.
Fittingly, The International 2026 turned out to be the roster’s last tournament together. Following a shaky group stage, Falcons made their way into the playoffs via an elimination match, then got knocked into the lower bracket and eventually eliminated by former champions Team Liquid, finishing 7th-8th. Prior to the event, Cr1t- had already hinted that it would be his last, and has since suggested his playing career may be over.
In its farewell statement, Falcons framed the decision as a strategic pivot rather than a retreat, saying its focus is shifting toward ventures that better fit the organization’s long-term direction.
With four of the best players in the world now free agents, speculation is running rampant in the Dota 2 community over where Malr1ne, skiter, ATF, and Sneyking will land next.
Xbox disc drive supply problems are getting worse, according to a new report from Digital Foundry. The outlet has corroborated an earlier report that said the global supply chain for optical disc drive components is collapsing.
Digital Foundry said the shortage is becoming “problematic” for Microsoft, since the company relies on outside suppliers for optical drives. Based on this, the outlet believes Microsoft’s next-generation console, codenamed Project Helix, will almost certainly launch without a disc drive. Below, we break down what both reports say and how it connects to Sony’s own move away from physical discs.
Xbox Disc Drive Supply Chain Collapsing, Reports Say
Reports revealed that the entire supply chain for components used to build optical disc drives is shrinking, as manufacturers shift assembly lines away from the tech.
The core issue is falling demand. Fewer companies still need optical drives now that PCs, TVs, and most entertainment devices have moved on from DVD and Blu-ray players. That leaves consoles like Xbox and PlayStation as some of the last major buyers, which makes it harder and more expensive for manufacturers to source the parts.
Microsoft has not made an official statement on whether Project Helix will include a disc drive. However, previous reports revealed that Microsoft was already leaning toward dropping the drive entirely. The shrinking supply chain appears to support that direction rather than change it.
PlayStation’s Disc Exit Adds Context
Sony has already committed to a digital-only future for new PlayStation releases. PlayStation has already confirmed that physical disc production for all new PlayStation games will stop from January 2028.
Sony said the shift reflects how players already prefer to buy games, adding that digital demand “significantly outpaces physical discs.” Games released before January 2028 are not affected and will remain available on disc.
It is still unclear if the PlayStation 6 will support an optional external disc drive, similar to certain PS5 models. Sony has not detailed hardware plans beyond the 2028 production cutoff.
What This Means for Xbox Project Helix
With PlayStation already moving away from discs and the supply chain for drive components shrinking further, Xbox appears to be following a similar path. Neither Microsoft nor Digital Foundry has confirmed a final decision on Project Helix’s hardware, but current reporting points toward a console without a built-in disc drive.
Microsoft recently rolled out a Disc-to-Digital program for Xbox, letting players convert physical game libraries into digital entitlements. That move lines up with a future where physical media plays a smaller role across both major console platforms.
Following months of hype within the FPS gaming community, multiple closed playtests, and a beta weekend that pulled in a whopping 245K peak concurrent players, Wardogs is finally about to leave testing behind.
Bulkhead has confirmed that the 100-player mil-sim shooter is launching into Steam Early Access this week, giving fans their first real chance to play the game without the fear of having their hard-earned cash wiped in two days.
In this article, weโll go through everything you need to know about when it drops, including its early access launch date, exact release time, and how the game has evolved since its beta phase.
The WARDOGS Beta is over. Thank you. We learned a lot and hit milestones we're proud of.
As already revealed by the devs, Wardogs is scheduled to enter Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026.
Upon taking a look at the gameโs SteamDB page, we can see that the exact release time for Wardogs is set for 16:00 UTC, though Bulkhead has not publicly confirmed the time at the time of writing.
While the release time is unlikely to shift drastically, your safest bet is to check the Wardogs Steam store page on September 10, as Steam typically displays a countdown timer as you get close to release.
This version of the game is likely to be notably different from the playtest, which only offered a taste of the game. Early Access is a full purchase that unlocks the current build for good.
All Changes From Beta
Wardogs went through three major closed beta tests before launch, with the first running August 7-9, the second beta running August 21-23, and a final stress test from September 3-6 that was later opened up to a wider audience.
While Bulkhead hasn’t really published a full, official Early Access changelog yet, there are a number of important changes from the closed beta that players should be aware of heading into the release.
For starters, the game’s progression will be slowed to some extent, making it harder for players to unlock the best-in-class weapons and vehicles in the first few days after launch. As per one of the lead devs, the progression in the playtests was much more lenient to let players get a taste of everything that the game has to offer.
For instance, the tank, which was locked behind Wardog level 50 in the playtest, will now be locked behind a high Driver level instead. This makes it much more difficult for players to unlock the powerful vehicle quickly, as leveling up your Driver level is a lot more tedious when compared to your player level.
On the content side, launch is expected to include roughly 37 weapons, 21 vehicles, and 3 maps.
Bulkhead has been clear that post-launch updates will lean toward bug fixes, balance passes, and community feedback rather than frequent new content drops, so players shouldn’t expect a steady stream of new maps or weapons every month.
CS2 fake VAC ban exploit reports surfaced after Counter-Strike 2 players posted about a vulnerability affecting Valve’s anti-cheat system. The exploit lets a player fake their own VAC-banned status, which triggers VAC Live and cancels the match instantly. Several players and dataminers clarified that no real VAC bans are involved, only a spoofed signal that tricks the system into acting as if one occurred. The bug has reportedly already been reported to Valve.
Here is what is currently known about the vulnerability.
CS2 Fake VAC Ban Exploit Explained
This is one of the most broken CS2 exploits yet, where VAC-banned players were somehow getting onto VAC-secured servers and manipulating VAC Live into flagging other players.
VAC-banned players are not actually entering secured servers. The real issue is that a player can fake their own state as VAC-banned, and the system then reacts the way it normally would to a genuine anti-cheat incident, canceling the match.
It's not "VAC-banned players are somehow getting into VAC-secured servers".
There is currently an exploit in CS2 that allows perpetrators to fake their own state as VAC-banned which auto-triggers the VAC Live flag and cancels the match.
There is currently a vulnerability that allows attackers to fake their “VAC banned” status, which automatically triggers VAC Live and cancels the match. Because the system treats the player as already banned, it does not issue a fresh, real punishment on top of the fake one, so the cheater walks away without a new ban on their account.
How the Fake Status Manipulates Match Results
According to the dataminers’ description, the issue lies in how the CS2 client and server process the reason for a player’s disconnection. In a specific scenario, the client can force the server to interpret a disconnect event as if it were tied to a Steam Logon or VAC state change. The vulnerability is reportedly linked to server.dll, the part of the game that handles disconnect logic.
This might be one of the most BROKEN CS2 exploits yetโฆ ๐ญ
Apparently, VAC-banned players are somehow getting into VAC-secured servers AND allegedly manipulating VAC Live to flag other players.
Imagine getting banned by the anti-cheat and coming back with admin powers ๐
Once that fake state reaches the system, VAC Live receives a signal indicating an anti-cheat incident and automatically cancels the match. The attacker never needs to actually earn a real ban. Making the system believe the ban state already exists is enough to end the game.
This is what makes the exploit dangerous for competitive integrity. A player could theoretically use the fake state at any point they are unhappy with a match, including a losing one in Premier or another mode where results affect rating, and force it to be scrapped instead of counted as a loss.
As of publishing, Valve has not issued an official statement or shipped a patch addressing this specific exploit.
The BGMI next tournament is BMSD 2026, scheduled to run from September 22 to October 18, 2026. It will be an invite-only competition featuring 48 Indian teams and a prize pool of โน1 crore.
Unlike BGIS and BMPS, players cannot enter BMSD through open registration. The 48 teams are being selected based on their performances across the KRAFTON India Esports Leaderboard, BGIS 2026 and BMPS 2026.
The tournament begins with the Qualifiers from September 22 to 30. The 48 teams will be divided into three groups of 16 and will compete under a promotion and relegation system. Each team is scheduled to play 18 matches during this stage.
After this, teams will move through Upper and Lower Bracket Survival stages, Semi Finals and Last Chance. The best teams will eventually reach the BMSD 2026 LAN Grand Finals from October 16 to 18.
BMSD is also important beyond its โน1 crore prize pool. Current tournament information lists the BMSD champion as qualifying for PMGC 2026, while the top six teams will qualify for BMIC 2026.
Unlike BMSD, BMIC will be an international tournament. A total of 16 teams from India, South Korea and Japan will compete for another โน1 crore prize pool. The announced distribution is six Indian teams, five South Korean teams and five Japanese teams.
The tournament is set to take place at the Dome, SVP Indoor Stadium in Mumbai, giving Indian teams another opportunity to face some of Asia’s strongest squads on home soil.
What’s Next After BGMS 2026?
BGMS Season 5 ended with Nebula Esports becoming champions, but the 2026 BGMI esports season is far from over.
The immediate focus now moves to BMSD, beginning September 22. Its results will then help decide India’s representatives for BMIC, while the BMSD champion also has a much bigger international opportunity waiting at PMGC 2026.
For fans searching for the BGMI next tournament, the upcoming calendar is simple: BMSD 2026 from September 22 to October 18, followed by BMIC 2026 from October 30 to November 1.
Nebula Esports have been crowned the BGMS Season 5 champions after finishing on top of the standings following an intense three-day Grand Finals. The team ended the Finals with 210 points from 18 matches, beating Gladiators Esports and iQOO Orangutan to lift its first major trophy. The fifth season of the BGMI Masters Series featured a prize pool of more than โน1 crore and concluded after three weeks of competition featuring some of India’s biggest BGMI teams.
Nebula Esports Win BGMS Season 5 With 210 Points
Nebula Esports entered the final day with a strong advantage after impressive performances during the opening two days. Despite the leaderboard continuing to change during the last six matches, the team managed to hold onto the number-one position.
Across the 18 Grand Finals matches, Nebula recorded 210 points, 116 finishes and four Winner Winner Chicken Dinners (WWCDs).
The victory earned Nebula Esports โน40 lakh in prize money.
Gladiators Esports finished as runners-up with 189 points and received โน15 lakh. iQOO Orangutan narrowly followed in third with 187 points, earning โน6 lakh.
Nebula captain Aditya “Aadi” Dawar described winning the team’s first major trophy at one of India’s biggest esports tournaments as a surreal moment. He said the big lead built during the first two days gave the team confidence to continue with its approach on the final day.
KNOWME Named BGMS Season 5 MVP
Nebula’s championship was accompanied by another major individual achievement.
Yash “KNOWME” Negi was named the BGMS Season 5 MVP after recording the most eliminations during the Grand Finals. Along with the MVP trophy, he received a TVS bike.
Meanwhile, Genesis Esports player Mohammed Kaif Gulhamid Khan, aka HUNTERZ, received the Most Wicked Player award for recording the most eliminations across the complete tournament. He was awarded a TVS Raider bike.
BGMS Season 5 Records Over 26 Million Views
NODWIN Gaming also revealed the viewership numbers for BGMS Season 5.
The tournament recorded more than 26 million total views and over 11 million watch hours. Peak concurrent viewership crossed 430,000 viewers, including watch parties.
The season started with the League Stage before progressing through the Super Weekend, Playoffs and finally the Grand Finals. The final 16 teams then played 18 matches across three days to decide the champion.
NODWIN Gaming Co-Founder and Managing Director Akshat Rathee congratulated Nebula and said the goal is to continue developing BGMS as a platform where India’s best players and teams can compete, grow and build their stories.

Tanmay “ScoutOP” Singh made his Bigg Boss 20 debut on Sunday, September 6, 2026, becoming the first Indian esports personality to appear on the reality show. Scout’s entry was acknowledged on the premiere by CarryMinati, Fukra Insaan (Abhishek Malhan), and Elvish Yadav. Host Salman Khan spoke to Scout about his gaming career and the money he has earned through esports. Scout has over 9 million followers across platforms, a runner-up finish at the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East, and serves as brand ambassador of Revenant XSpark. He currently plays competitive BGMI for Quantum Sparks.
Scout’s Bigg Boss 20 Entry: What Happened on the Premiere
Scout entered the Bigg Boss house during the Season 20 premiere on Colors TV. Three of India’s biggest digital creators recorded messages for him.
CarryMinati referenced watching Scout since the early days of his gaming journey. He mentioned Scout’s famously intense in-game personality, the thing that made him stand out beyond his competitive results.
Fukra Insaan called Scout’s move a natural progression for someone who has represented the YouTube community for years. He told Scout to approach the house with responsibility, humility, and warmth, and confirmed the support of the wider creator community and Scout’s Panda Gang fanbase.
Elvish Yadav, who made his own transition from digital creator to mainstream reality TV, congratulated Scout and told him to make the most of the opportunity.
The most significant moment came when Salman Khan asked Scout about his gaming career and the money he has been able to earn through it. For a Bigg Boss audience that may not follow esports, it was a direct introduction to the idea that gaming is a real profession with real financial outcomes.
Who Is ScoutOP?
Tanmay Singh, known as ScoutOP or Scout, is one of the founding figures of India’s mobile esports scene. He started in Counter-Strike before moving to PUBG Mobile, where he became one of the most recognised competitive players in the country.
His biggest competitive result is a 2nd place finish at the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East, one of the highest placements an Indian player has achieved at an international PUBG Mobile event. He founded Team XSpark, which won both BGIS 2024 and BMPS 2024, becoming the first team in BGMI history to win 2 major tournaments in a single year. In late 2024, Team XSpark merged with Revenant Esports to form Revenant XSpark, with Scout named brand ambassador.
Scout’s competitive career has continued through multiple roster moves. He joined Medal Esports in July 2025 before departing in September 2025. In May 2026, he joined Quantum Sparks alongside Master, Archit, Yashu, and Daksh. He remains brand ambassador of Revenant XSpark while competing under the Quantum Sparks banner.
What Scout Said About Bigg Boss
Scout addressed both the personal and the broader significance of his entry.
He said: “Gaming has taken me places I could have never imagined when I started. From being a competitive player to building a community of millions, I’ve seen gaming grow into a real career for an entire generation. Bigg Boss is a new chapter for me, and I’m excited for people to see Tanmay beyond ScoutOP. I also hope this journey helps more parents understand that gaming can be a serious career and support young people who want to pursue it with dedication and discipline.”
What Revenant XSpark Said
Rohit Jagasia, CEO of Revenant XSpark, commented on Scout’s entry: “Scout’s journey has always been about pushing beyond what people expected from a gamer. He started out as a competitive player, went on to build one of the strongest communities in Indian gaming, and now he is taking that influence to one of the biggest mainstream platforms in the country. Scout is not entering Bigg Boss simply as a gamer, but as a personality who has built an audience, a culture and a legacy of his own. I think this is an important moment for Indian gaming and for every young person who sees a future for themselves in this space.”
Gaming Personalities in Mainstream Entertainment: A Growing Pattern
Scout is not the only gaming figure crossing into mainstream media in 2026.
Vanshaj Singh, an RNTX talent, recently appeared on Amazon Prime Video’s Alliance.
Fukra Insaan (Abhishek Malhan) has himself crossed from YouTube into mainstream entertainment and was a Bigg Boss OTT finalist.
The pattern is consistent. Gaming and content creators are no longer operating in a separate ecosystem. The communities, identities, and influence they built online are translating directly into mainstream entertainment opportunities. Scout’s journey is the most prominent example so far, but he is part of a broader trend.
As TalkEsport reported when RNTX appointed Ghatak as Director of Esports and Community, the organisation has been building an ecosystem around competitive esports, talent management, and creator-led entertainment. Scout’s Bigg Boss entry fits that strategy.
Why This Matters for Indian Esports
Salman Khan asking Scout about his gaming career and his earnings on one of India’s most-watched television shows is not something that would have happened 5 years ago. Gaming personalities appearing on Bigg Boss, Amazon Prime, and other mainstream platforms signals that the industry has reached a level of cultural relevance that goes beyond the gaming community.
For parents who still see gaming as a hobby, Scout sitting across from Salman Khan discussing his career and financial success is the kind of visibility that changes perceptions at scale. That is the part of this story that matters most for the ecosystem long-term.
